“I looked into the issue concerning the Nelsons family from fifteen years ago and found out that on the 18th of that time, Dharia celebrated her birthday at Citadel Hotel. There was no kidnapping whatsoever.”“So, the person you’re looking for isn’t Dharia.”The last sentence he heard was like a thunderclap to Richard. He had given up hope on the girl and decided to return to Ligos city, only to suddenly hear this news. The girl he had been searching for was apparently not Dharia. This meant he had been searching for the wrong person!“It can’t be...” Richard whispered.With a furrowed brow and a look of disbelief, he said, “At that time when I found Grandpa Nelsons, he himself said that the person was Dharia. And the date was also the 18th. The Nelsons family only had one daughter, so it’s impossible that the person wasn’t Dharia.”One thing Richard was sure of was that the girl from fifteen years ago indeed came from the Nelsons family!The head servant, noticing the change in Richa
Richard put his phone back into his pocket. The man didn’t even look at the receptionist. He just stared fixedly at the elevator door.The receptionist felt even more convinced that Richard was just pretending to call someone earlier.With his shabby appearance, how could the man possibly know their General Manager?“Security guard!” The receptionist called two security guards not far from him and said, “Take him out of here!”Without saying much, the two security guards immediately walked with big steps towards Richard.At the same time!The door of elevator number three suddenly descended from the twenty-first floor. Richard just stood there.The two security guards who were ordered by the receptionist earlier reached out and wanted to hold Richard’ shoulders. Meanwhile, the receptionist remained standing in her position with a disdainful expression on her face at Richard.Right at this moment, the elevator had reached the tenth floor!The sixth floor!The third floor!Just as the h
Everyone’s gaze instantly turned to Raylon. The man had just received the documents delivered by his secretary. He then handed the documents to Richard and said, “Mr. Richard, here is the data regarding Dharia’s whereabouts on her 15th birthday.”“Additionally, there are also photos from her birthday,” Raylon added.Richard busily flipped through the pages of the documents given by Raylon. He then said, “In other words, on the 18th, Dharia was never kidnapped at all. And that means she is not the girl I’ve been looking for?”“Then why did Grandpa Nelsons say that Dharia is the one I’m searching for?” Richard asked again.“Mr. Richard, I apologize in advance. But have you ever considered this? You are so honorable. You are the heir of the Dwayne family in Ligos city. Besides that, you also control the underground forces of Rio Dio Country,” Raylon said with a serious expression.“Not to mention you have other very impressive statuses. However, just based on those two points alone, who
Elvan, who had been waiting in the Diamond Group lobby to sign a contract with Mr. Raylon, instead encountered Richard, whom he considered a parasite.Seeing the man, he felt something was missing if he hadn’t humiliated Richard yet.“Why do you look so angry? Did you get rejected from being a security guard here?” Elvan asked sarcastically. “Besides, I was kind enough to offer you a security job at my office, but you rejected it and insisted on finding a job on your own. It turns out the office you chose is Diamond Group?!” Elvan continued, ignoring Richard’s sharp gaze.“Your attitude alone is unfit for being a security guard here. At the very least, you should have formal training for the profession! And you? Did you even graduate from junior high school?” Elvan’s condescending words continued to belittle him.“Move aside! I don’t have time to entertain you!” Richard snapped coldly. Elvan’s eyes widened when he heard the man’s words.“You’d better watch your attitude now! Do you
“What?! What did you just say?! Canceled?! How could this happen? Didn’t Mr. Raylon agree yesterday?” Carmen was shocked. The question from the woman only worsened Elvan’s already terrible mood.“It’s all because of that damn Richard! He cursed me, causing the partnership to fall through! See? It really happened!” Elvan shouted angrily.“Damn the birthday party! You all are just bad luck!” The man did not see himself as being at fault at all. He only blamed others and shifted all the burdens onto them.He did like Dharia, but compared to money, she was meaningless to him. Elvan ended the call abruptly. Meanwhile, Carmen remained silent, staring at her phone and muttering,“Elvan and Diamond Group canceled the partnership?” she whispered.“What’s going on? The Quinlan family surely won’t invest with us. Mr. Raylon won’t come to the birthday party, right?” Carmen continued with a tone of despair. The old woman’s heart shattered into pieces upon hearing the news.“Damn Richard! The man
“You want something? I’ll give it to you right away! One thing you should know is that I never lack female company in my life. So, you’re quite lucky because you’re one of the chosen ones!” said the man.Of course, Aurora knew that someone as wealthy as Ghalen would never run out of female company. But she had never felt she was worth being valued so cheaply!“I’m sorry, Sir. I can prove myself to them with my own abilities. So, thank you for your offer, but I’m not interested. Let’s continue our discussion about the investment,” Aurora quickly declined.Ghalen’s smile vanished from his lips. With a cold expression, he said, “Are you belittling me?”“Of course not. I know Mr. Ghalen is impressive, but I’d prefer to prove my worth through my own skills. So let’s get back to our main agenda,” Aurora replied, struggling to hide her disgust towards the man.The man’s face flushed red as if he was holding back his anger. He poured a glass of alcohol and handed it to Aurora, saying, “Sure,
A panicked baritone voice of a man could be heard from the La Nova Club lobby. The shout was so loud that Aurora, who was on the third floor, could catch the call. Her eyes widened as she looked towards the door of the room with hope.Someone was calling her name! Or was it just her imagination?“HELP! HELP ME!” Aurora shouted as loudly as she could, her voice nearly breaking.Ghalen quickly covered her mouth and face with a shirt and slapped her cheeks with all his strength. Then he yanked Aurora’s hair, forcing her head to tilt upwards.“Cheap woman! You’d better listen to what I say! If not, I’ll finish you off right now!” Ghalen threatened.“Everyone in this club is my people! Don’t expect anyone to come to your rescue!”Aurora, who had just received two hard slaps, still felt her head spinning and empty. She could feel the man’s hands starting to restrain her and trying to forcibly remove the clothes sticking to her body.“Huhuhu… Bastard! Get your filthy hands off me!” Aurora pl
“Huh huh huh...” Aurora clung to Richard, sobbing uncontrollably, her whole-body trembling.At this moment, Ghalen struggled to get up. He then hurried to the door, turned around, and glared fiercely at them, “You cheap woman! And you too! Damn it. If you really dare, don’t even think about escaping. I will definitely kill both of you.”“I swear, you will pay dearly for what you’ve done today!”“You’ll be finished at my hands!”After shouting these lines, Ghalen ran out immediately. He hurried down to the first-floor lounge, wincing in pain from his injured, torn wrist.Under the confused gazes of everyone who saw him, he shouted loudly in the hall, “Draxen! Come here quickly.”“Bring your men and come with me to the third floor. I want that bastard and that cheap woman dead! I want them dead!”Ghalen’s voice was so loud, and the place was so quiet due to his dramatic arrival that everyone could hear him clearly.A tattooed man stood up. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “
